Well it's patched now, but it didn't affect you unless you were running a "Windows Server" although all recent operating systems were affected. If your Windows machine is behind your home router and you were not forwarding ports to it you're probably fine. I doubt this vulnerability was known well enough that enough people were scanning for vulnerable IPs to exploit them.
- xnull 12y agoThe window from disclosure of patches to duplication is narrowing and it appears from the bulletin that client connections are affected as well. Furthermore any computer you take anywhere outside your home router (and can you really trust your home router as security boundary nowdays?!) will be easy to manipulate into an SChannel connection. Inside your home network, clients are still vulnerable to attack - any javascript/flash ad/referer can point a computer behind a router at an attacker server and serve up malicious SChannel packets. That is to say your home computer can be attacked on outgoing connections which your router will be happy to allow. It's very serious. Patch immediately.
